X-Port Information
An X-Port is a small device you use to connect your PS2 to your PC using the USB ports in front of your PS2 to the back of your PC.
The wire is about 2 meters long and most people have to move their PS2 closer to their PC to make it reach. When you connect the PS2 to the PC, you do not need to plug it into the TV.
Once connected, you insert the X-Port CD into the PS2 and load the X-Port program on your PC (installed using the supplied PC CD).
Once this is done, you can use the PC to explore the files on your PS2 memory card. You can then copy any file from the PS2 memory card to your PC hard disk.
You can download X-Port files [.XPS] including PES2 and WE6:FE option files from a site such as
http://www.showusmiracle.com/
and send it to your memory card. If you want to send an option file to your mem card, it's a good idea to backup your original option file first as it will be over-written.
If you don't want to delete any of your great PES/WE goals, you can send them to your hard disk for storage until you want to check them out again. You can zip up the files to make them smaller and easier to email to people - eg sharing of option files, formations and goals etc.
Option files contain only data which can be edited manually in the games themselves, such as player names, appearances, club kits/flags etc. Nothing to do with patches can be stored on option files and you won't be able to load patch info using the X-Port.
So realistic kits and logos and advertising boards etc are only possible through the use of patches and not X-Port option files.
Different patches have different player rosters so if you saved the option file with Wedoit 3.0, and then play Wendetta, you will notice the national players (eg Spain) play for the clubs they have been replaced with, eg Spurs (they wish!). To stop this happening, you either need to play without loading the option file from the memory card or you have one mem card per patch.
You can get an X-Port from
www.play.com
Use the search option on the left side and type "X-Port".
£17.99 is the best price around.

EDIT- The above was the best at the time.
Now you should check out
http://pesinsight.com/pesinsight/xport.shtml
for a slightly cheaper X-Port. £16.99
Having an X-Port can save you from hassle and upset at trying to play PES/WE one day for your PS2 to tell you that your option file is corrupted and you will have to start again. It will save you many hours of editing.
Hopefully this will answer all questions for the use of X-Port.
If not, ask away and I will edit this post to add the info.
Guide to Using X-Port:-
Load up the X-Port software to see what I am talking about.
Near the bottom you have 3 buttons in a line.
'MEM CARD', 'PC DATABASE'and 'CODEJUNKIES.COM'
Ignore the 3rd one. All we need is the first 2.
When the PC DATABASE button is highlighted, it shows you what files are in your Savedgames folder in your X-Port folder (where you installed it to). If you put a tick on the box for any file and then click on RESTORE in the top left, the file will be sent to your memory card.
Some files which are the same are all shown together so click on the file first and you get details of more in the SAVES AVAILABLE window on the right. An example would be that I have about 10 PES3 Option files. In the GAMES FOUND window, you see one file for the PES3 Option file. In the SAVES AVAILABLE window, you'll see all the different ones you have at the moment. Then you would click the tick box and then click on RESTORE. That is how to send files to your mem card.
To send files to your PC, click on the MEM CARD button at the bottom. It should access the card to see what files are on it. Then it will show you the list. Tick the box of the file you want to transfer and then click on the BACKUP button which is now in the top left area. The file will then be sent to your Savedgames folder where you should rename it so you know exactly what it is.
With PES goal files, I think it's best to first use the in-game Gallery mode to view all your goals and write a quick description of them, eg
Goal 24 - Zidane Volley from Pires Cross (or something). Then you should send the goals one by one to your PC and as each one arrives, rename it as
"PES3 Goal 24 - Zidane Volley from Pires Cross.xps" - you may or may not need to add the .xps bit depending on your Windows options and whether it shows you the file extensions.
This way, you can tell which PES game the goal is for so you don't get confused between PES2 and PES3 etc.
And that's about it. If you want to share your goal with someone else, right click on it and choose SEND TO and then COMPRESSED (ZIPPED) FOLDER and then there will also be a zipped up version of the file which you can upload to frutsel or email to someone more easily.
